Frequently Asked Questions

Is Greece a serious golf destination, or just a place with a few courses?

Greece isn't a "golf-first" destination like Scotland or Portugal, but it offers a fantastic luxury golf experience, primarily centered around high-end resorts. You'll find beautifully maintained courses that perfectly complement a wider vacation focused on culture, beaches, and incredible food. We think it's an excellent choice if you want to mix a few rounds with a truly memorable Mediterranean escape.

Where should I base myself to play golf in Greece?

For the best golf experience, you absolutely need to head to the Peloponnese region, specifically around Costa Navarino. This area is home to several world-class courses designed by legends like Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Bernhard Langer. It's truly the heart of Greek golf, offering stunning coastal views and impeccable conditions.

What's the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Greece?

We highly recommend visiting in the shoulder seasons-late April to early June or September to October. The weather is perfect for golf, with warm sunshine but without the intense heat of mid-summer, and the courses are less crowded. You'll also find better value on flights and accommodation compared to peak tourist season.

What can I expect regarding green fees and overall cost for golf in Greece?

Expect green fees to reflect the luxury resort setting, generally ranging from €150 to €250 per round at the top courses. While it's not a budget destination, the quality of the courses and the overall experience-often including stunning views and excellent facilities-justifies the price. Consider package deals with your resort for potential savings.

Beyond the golf course, what unique Greek experiences can I easily combine with a golf trip?

Greece offers an incredible blend of history and relaxation right at your fingertips. After your round, you can explore ancient ruins like Olympia, enjoy fresh seafood by the sea, or simply unwind on pristine beaches. We always suggest dedicating time to savor the local cuisine and perhaps even take a cooking class-it's an unforgettable part of the Greek charm.
